See a glimpse of this beautiful country, such as this Dome Square. Certainly a picture cannot reproduce all the vivid colors of Latvia, but it can enspire you to come and see it for yourself.

This Seminary was born by the grace of God through the efforts of ITEM (specifically, Dr. George Van Groningen, who has taught at several Reformed seminaries). Since its founding in 1998, the Seminary has had professors coming from North America every two months to lecture for two weeks on a particular course of a seminary curriculum.
